Sabbath school, I take them to church
every fair Sabbath, bat no impres

I propose a few quustious;

"I am afraid the former to never
done, and the latter often. Btilh
there can’t be much barm in that,”
“Do you ever speak to them per

schools, take them to the opera and
theatre, and thus nurture a keen
relish for irreligious pursuits t ”
“Yes ; they mast have some annisev
